See section B. Yahoo
Messenger in the info below to setup the Audio & Video.
Also send this to your family
and friends so they have their computer setup properly.
Web Camera’s have to be
setup on the program they are to be used with.
Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to
broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for
the Audio and Video to function properly.
A. Skype Setup:
After downloading and installing Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/beta/downloading/)
set it up as follows:
The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now be able to
see and her to you.
B. Yahoo Setup:
After downloading and installing Yahoo Messenger (http://ca.messenger.yahoo.com/download/
) set it up as follows:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d78f2ff1-79ea-4066-8ba0-ddbed94864fc&displaylang=en
NOTE: Your audio and
video should work. Enjoy.
When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so
you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
Hope
this helps. Bud

I had a similar problem. The solution posted earlier did not work for me. Then I noticed - what I believe to be - the problem.
The device listed in the default webcam dialog box is Logitech 900 (not 9000). I simply typed in the extra zero at the end of the name in the box, saved the change, then restarted Yahoo! Messenger.
Voila! It worked.
Hope that helps you solve your issue, too.

Same same, looked everywhere for an answer, but still no dice.
Messenger does not give me the option in preferences, to select the Quickcam Pro 9000. It does not appear in the pop down box.
